Here in New York, the Granny Peace Brigade has begun a six-day protest in Times Square. The antiwar group made up mostly of grandmothers plans to read the names of the Americans and Iraqis that have died since the war began four years ago on March 19.

Molly Klopot, 88-year-old organizer: “These are wasteless, awful deaths of young people, of children, of women, all over the world. This is just not the United States who suffered. How many thousands have been killed in Iraq? Look what we’ve done to that country. So it’s very important, I think, that we give credence to the symbol that they represent of the useless death and destruction that this war has brought upon the world.”
